The hotel is currently undergoing a major update - the majority of it has been updated but there are still some unfinished areas - not in our room, but outside in the hall. Our room was super clean and modern with vinyl flooring and a spacious area. Would stay here again.

Hotel has it all.
Front desk staff were very nice. Air conditioned room. Comfortable King bed. People seemed to like the pool area; laying out and swimming. The restaurant/bar is great. We played pool and I won some money on a lottery machine. The view of the Gorge and The Dalles Dam is unique. Convenient location next to I84, Chevron with little store, McDonalds.

The hotel is under renovation, construction debris everywhere inside and out. The amenities that were supposed to be included did not exist as the commissary store and the continental breakfast areas were under construction. The layout of the hotel is terrible. From our room you either had to walk through five exterior doors and go downstairs or walk around the entire property to get to the front office. The room was decent and clean but I did not get what I paid for and would not recommend

I booked the hotel for the location/nice pictures of the lobby&room/breakfast. In reality, the property is undergoing renovation, there are debris throughout, and instead of breakfast, we were given a tiny bag of three junk food options (which is somewhat expected) to be eaten in a room or in the lobby. I would not take an issue with the renovation if the hotel management was upfront and open in description instead of completely false advertising. For example, they took a picture of a bunch of chairs and tables in the beautiful lobby put to look like it's the breakfast area and made it a bit fuzzy to make t hard to say for sure. Why not charge people $20 less and explain that it's for the inconvenience of the renovation? This property is not worth $185/night but will be once it is done. Also, please don't lie that you have an 80F heated outdoor pool, when it is not (and is very easy to check!). Check your greed at the door and treat people we with respect please!

Big Remodel (May 2024)
NOTE: This property is undergoing a remodel, so check the date when you read reviews. This is going to be a fabulous place to stay when it's complete but things are a little wonky right now. I would recommend calling ahead to make reservations if some things are more important than others. The lobby was under construction but looks like it will be gorgeous when finished, with a large stone fireplace and a lovely view of the river and dam. Breakfast is bagged grab and go for now. The restaurant & bar area (plus a bonus room with pool tables) overlooked the river. We ate out, but popped in for yummy desserts. My room had been painted, but the furniture hadn't been replaced or set up to function properly with the layout. A 4-plug outlet up on the wall behind the TV that I could barely reach, a 2 plug outlet on a wall with nothing near it, and nowhere to plug things in bedside. One side had a lamp & alarm clock, the other had a lamp, fridge & microwave. No plug in the tub for bathing, but they do have them, so ask if that's important. The fridge was bigger than most hotel mini fridges, and the freezer refroze my ice packs. The coffee maker is on the desk, not in the bathroom, which is important to me. There is also coffee available in the lobby. Staff was overall fantastic! As stated, this property is undergoing a big remodel, so if you're reading this after 2024, I'm sure none of it will apply except the gorgeous view and it will have lots of 5 stars!

Disappointed
It was the worse yet. Under construction. My sister and i stayed while headed to see family. I chose this spot because of reviews and the fact it had breakfast well the breakfast spot is under construction so it was supposed to be a jimmy beam sausage biscuit warmed up to go. Chose not to take that. The heater in the room was so loud and bathroom door was almost off the hinge couldn't shut it quietly. Then the smoke detector was beeping all night and the construction workers tarps were flappin outside our window so much for any sleep. Price was way to much for that.
